In the media world, few personal stories have been as publicly scrutinized as the relationship between Fox News personality Jesse Watters and his first wife, Noelle Watters. Their 10-year marriage, once a cornerstone of the Fox News family, came to a highly publicized end in 2019, following a scandal involving Jesse’s affair with Emma DiGiovine, a 25-year-old associate producer at the network. While Jesse moved on quickly and married Emma, Noelle has largely remained out of the spotlight. Here’s a look at where she is today, what she’s been up to, and how she has built a quieter life after the whirlwind of public scrutiny.

The Affair That Changed Everything

Jesse Watters and Noelle were married in 2013, sharing a decade-long relationship and raising twin daughters together. However, in 2017, it was revealed that Jesse had been involved in an affair with Emma DiGiovine. At the time, Noelle was understandably devastated, and in the wake of the affair becoming public, she filed for divorce in 2019. Their divorce was finalized that same year, ending their decade-long marriage.

For Noelle, the breakup marked the end of not only her marriage but also her role as part of the public eye associated with her husband’s rising career. The media frenzy around the affair, especially with Noelle’s prominent position as a TV personality on Fox, made the situation even more difficult.

At the time, Watters was married to Noelle Watters, his wife of ten years and the mother of their twin daughters. The revelation of the affair led Noelle, then 41, to file for divorce, which was finalized in 2019, bringing their decade-long marriage to an end.

Following the exposure of the relationship, DiGiovine was reassigned to a different show within the network.

As for Noelle, she has largely remained out of the public spotlight since the divorce. There’s little confirmed information about her current lifestyle, though speculation suggests she may be engaged in philanthropic according to Nicki Swift

Jesse Watters didn’t take long to move on after his split from Noelle. The same year their divorce was finalized, he married Emma DiGiovine—the former associate producer.

While Noelle has stayed out of the spotlight, Jesse frequently posts about his new wife on Instagram, sharing their life together despite occasional backlash. The couple seem really happy.

The couple now has two children: a son, Jesse Jr., and a daughter, Georgina. Jesse stirred fresh controversy on Fox News’ “The Five” when he joked: “When I was trying to get [my wife Emma] to date me, first thing I did, uh, I let the air out of her tires,”.” Considering his own past, the irony wasn’t lost on viewers, though his co-hosts responded with laughter.

Though some still raise eyebrows at the 20-year age gap and workplace affair, Jesse has embraced his new life publicly and he is very happy. At least the images show that.

What does Noelle Watters do in 2025?

Meanwhile, Noelle has chosen dignity and privacy, avoiding any public missteps or scandals.

Once a familiar face on Fox News, Noelle Watters—formerly Noelle Inguagiato—has stepped away from the media glare and built a more private, grounded life in 2025.

Known for her early work as a fashion stylist and television host on Fox’s iMag Style, Noelle also contributed to popular programs such as The O’Reilly Factor and Outnumbered during her 12-year tenure at the network.

But following her high-profile divorce from Jesse Watters in 2019, Noelle charted a quieter path centered around motherhood and personal reinvention.

Now based in Washington, D.C., she shares her life with twin daughters Sophie and Elle, born in 2011. While she has kept her personal affairs largely out of public view—eschewing the spotlight that once defined her career—sources suggest she may be exploring entrepreneurial projects, possibly returning to her roots in fashion in a new, independent capacity.

In addition to nurturing her family, Noelle is reportedly engaged in charitable efforts focused on children’s welfare and education, highlighting a deepening commitment to causes close to her heart.
